I'm voting for 'Football in the Groin' by Hans Moleman.

Seriously, I have always lived in a safe liberal seat, so my vote has never counted. Tony Abbott is a regressive moron and I hope he doesn't get in. I guess I'll show up tomorrow to vote for the senate, for the sex party or the fishing party or the sex with fish party or the shooting old people party, I won't know until I get there and unravel my 2 metre long ballot.

Get your name checked off the list and drop a blank form in the box - The money you save on the fine can go on Titans 13+ this Monday.....

That always scares me a blank vote, who is to say they cant fill it out later.
I would rather put Donald duck or something in it, if you dont want to vote.

Gillard reluctantly. But i get to vote for Rudd directly in my electorate.

Been pretty impressed with Abbott but several of his views and policies make him unvotable. IMO

I'll be campaigning for Rudd tomorrow then off to Easts Leagues for after
party to watch the numbers roll in.

It'll be bloody interesting to see how the numbers fall.

I still don't know who to vote for. I have always been a Labor supporter but recent events have deterred me. A vote for them is a vote for Gillard, no thanks. A vote for LNP is a vote for my idiot local member Peter Slipper, no thanks. A vote for the Greens is a vote for the hippies, no thanks. A vote for Family First is the same as walking into a commune and letting them tell you how to live.

If they wanted to rort the vote counting, waiting for a blank ballet paper would be the least of concerns. But yeh, voting for a cartoon character is something I've metioned before.

It's a close election but definitely one of apathy unfortunately.

Be nice to have some leadership and be inspired.

Im writing down Mark Lathams name and ticking that box.:banana:

He is the only person that has made any sense to me. If you don't like the candidates, don't vote for them.

Just heard on Sky that Gillard will be attending the ELection party at the exhibition center in Melbourne.

That happens to be right next to where I'm staying, I'm stuck in Melvourne by myself tonight and bored. Can anyone go to these things?

Bored by yourself or bored and amongst politicians. Easy choice go to a bar and watch the footy with a beer in your hand. Who needs company!!!

Ok so I just voted. It was easier than I thought. The only part I didn't like is that you have to write Mark Lathams name on the ballot paper. Its not fair, all the other candidates had their names on there.:laugh:

Going to a bar to watch footy here is a fair bit harder then you think.
I have 12 in the fridge and fox so I might stay home again tonight and get drunk and watch the footy

Spent yesterday campaigning for Rudd and then to the branch party at Easts Leagues. Was a great night. Not so much for the rest of the ALP!

What a disaster!

Anyone watch the Nine coverage, ahaha.
What a funny night of telly.

Costello seems like he is in a different league to the rest of them, if he ran, he would have had my vote in a flash.

If Costello ran he would have won. He is extremely intelligent, has such razor wit and actually has a sense of humour.

I watched it on and off on Channel 9. I loved the dumb look on Wayne Swans face when Barnaby Joyce gave him a serve. Priceless.

Not my favourite politican, even though I grew up in his electorate and so did my family. Pretty funny when he said "I dont know what type of lunatics you have on your panel" or something. He was pretty grumpy.

I watched the numbers roll on at a function but taped the ABC and have also watched a Sky News replay on A-Pac.

Also the knives are out in Labor with a lot of people furious at how the campaign was run and the knifing of Kevin Rudd. Brett Raguse, Maxine McKew and Chris Trevor, who lost their seats, leading the way.

I think the favourite to form government are the Coalition but I am pleased that the Independents see the NBN as a positive. I want that NBN!

Coaster

I want a NBN too, but i sure as hell dont want to pay 43 billion for it, and then have it blow out.

Why dont they spend that money gettng people away from the urban sprawl, and then when there is enough people there, the private companies will willing pay that debt.

Egypt built the pyramids
Rome built Aqua ducts
USA have built massive inland man made lakes
China built a wall

All these things will last 1000's of years

We are going to build a network of wires to hold a technology that might not be around to see its completion, so Tasmanian s can download 2 headed porn a bit faster.

I'm sure everyone wants the best broadband we can build, myself included.
$43B is one thing, but does that include interest on the debt it creates (or prevents us from repaying)? We all saw (or didn't see) how Labours "laptop for every student' policy turned out; $800M very quickly blew out to double and still didn't work. Imagine if they got the figures wrong on $43B! All that risk for an out-of-date system... No thanks. Stick with a cheaper alternative until a better proposition comes along.

One thing I liked about Abbotts campaign was dedication to repaying debt. I hate debt, more so the interest you have to pay on it - it's money you never get back especially when investments pan out the way Labours did; Pink batts, school halls stimulus ect....
